The article discusses the importance of range corrections in meteorological data, emphasizing that without these corrections, the results of discussions on ocean pressure distribution are scientifically invalid. It highlights Fitzroy's recognition of the significance of range corrections and suggests that a series of monographs on this topic should be prepared by the Meteorological Committee.
The section on rainfall in Barbados mentions a report from Tobago, where an influx of fresh water caused significant mortality among sea eggs. The author questions whether excessive rains on the continent might have affected the water quality in Barbados, which has been suffering from a prolonged drought.
The article on the "Treatise on Probability" notes that the treatise was published under the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge and authored by Sir John William Lubbock and J. E. Drinkwater Bathurst. It is considered one of the best works on probability and has been cited by notable scholars.
The final section describes a visit to the summit of Mauna Loa, an active Hawaiian volcano. The author, Prof. F. L. Clarke, details the journey to the summit, the dramatic landscape of lava fields, and the spectacular sight of molten lava fountains and columns. The article also mentions that the crater is increasing in activity, reflecting unusual brilliance at night.The article discusses the importance of range corrections in meteorological data, emphasizing that without these corrections, the results of discussions on ocean pressure distribution are scientifically invalid.
